I helped set up a wireless mesh network in St Louis (though others were much more instrumental than I was) - combined with building and giving out free linux computers, we got hundreds of people online that wouldn't have been able to otherwise (pre smartphones)

- kiliantics 9y agoAwesome. Whether or not net neutrality goes under (more than it already has), I hope we start seeing a lot more of this.
- juliangoldsmith 9y agoI'd argue that this sort of project would solve the same problem that net neutrality tries to. The root problem is that if an ISP starts throttling content, a lot of customers won't have another ISP they can switch to. Something like a mesh network (high-latency, high-bandwidth) would be perfect for what most people want (Netflix, Facebook, etc.). Mesh networks being widely available would force ISPs to provide actual value to their customers.
